The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 11]

It won't make a tiny bit of difference, pointless, like the team.

[DuncanM]

The only one coming out of this season looking good will be BR.

Seriously though, it can't be doing him any harm can it?

[curlie467]

Probably not.

I like Klopp so am not against him, his interviews are great but I really haven't seen anything on the football side of things to convince me, surely I'm not the only one to be concerned?

Cant polish a turd IMO. Need to sell 66% of the squad in the Summer and start over.

I'm praying we sign some of Klopps old mates from Dortmund etc. Don't need to be superstars, just solid footballers who have brains. Understand pressing, keeping possession, can tackle and for the love of god, defend in some way.

Keep losing from winning positions after crowd walk out and the board will at least discuss if it is having an effect.

Imagine the conversations going on with staff at Anfield now, everyone asking if they thought it made a difference.

At least from the protest pov it was a good result!

BR is part of our history. Any thoughts on him are pretty irrelevant I think. We need to be looking forward, surely? Klopp came in and told everyone not to expect miracles this season. So clearly he knew what kind of players he had to work with.

The leader/setting by example thing is very relevant. Suarez and Gerrard dragged the rest of the team up a couple of seasons ago - inspired great performances. We have no-one now who can do that. Hopefully that will change.

Brendan's real problem was the positivity he saw iin mediocrity. He could talk up any performance. If he had come out seething after a few bad performances I think he might have looked better. Guy was way too nice and way too quick to praise people that had let him down.

I didn't really expect him to work miracles, I do want him to succeed as I like him and he has a good record.
I genuinely didn't realise how bad the team was though, I know we miss the goals of DS but absolutely no one else can hit a bloody barn door.
I said a while back that Henderson was st and not a leader, I got laughed at by some, he is one of many who I am not added if they go.

Poor old Klopp hey, taking over this shower of st, and poor old Brendan, if he shut his gob a bit more he might have gotten a break because there really is no difference in this team under either manager,

As much as I wish it was different I completely agree with you.

My comment is a a critique of are continued poor performances, despite having a new manager that I'm sure most of us agree, is of a higher standard.

No one in our entire squad can hide from the criticism can they? Just so ordinary

Remember guys, we cannot criticise our team or manager after a defeat, we will get jumped on for being knee jerk reactionists and hysterical non believers. The Liverpool forum elite will come and tell us off.

Poor old Klopp hey, taking over this shower of st, and poor old Brendan, if he shut his gob a bit more he might have gotten a break because there really is no difference in this team under either manager, take that comment as you wish, I truly don't care.
We are shocking from front to back.
Closer to the bottom three than we are to Spurs, a team I used to think were about our level but that now is well off the mark. Leapfrogged by Everton and maybe Southampton to drop us to ninth, bottom half finish anyone? Its highly possible.

I'm not convinced yet, not at all.

Agree

Now you know what its like to be a blue nose

[anonymous-user]

It's getting on for being a crisis. Only stopped from being full blown due to the new manager and the positivity surrounding him.

Will try and be positive about Firmino with another goal and an assist. Can't think of anything else.

No they can't. Agreed; very poor.

[Flip Martian]

Well Sky had the game as their featured match tonight. What a bloody shower. I know we badly need a striker who can finish but I've sat through some poor teams - Souness's with the likes of Paul Stewart and Torben Piechnik is usually my benchmark - and by God, I think this lot with the way they are playing now, are approaching those lows. Can't pass, can't shoot. They insult the memory of all the great players we've had at the club and the reputation for good football we had as a result.

Shameful.

[TTmonkey]

It could be worse. The three teams just below you in the table are in terrible form. No threat there. Villa next, easy. And your run in looks easy.

Let's not forget Uncle Woy!

Very disappointing today. Didn't really get why we needed Lucas today. Let's not forget though, it's not just Sturridge, we're also missing Coutinho, Ings, Origi, Gomez, Skrtel and lost Lovren today.

No excuse for the defending though.

Stats:

Of the last 19 shots on target that Mignolet has faced in PL, he's conceded 12 goals. 63% of shots on target = goal

Mignolet is responsible for the loss of 15 points this season which would have put us 2nd..apparently
